EGG' BEATER.

My invention relates to egg beaters, and the objects of my invention are;` First, to provide an egg beateiwwhich is soconstrueted that all parts are readily ac cessible'for cleaning and thereforemay be kept clean and sanitary` at all times;y second, to provide` an egg beater in which the engaging driving members are sliiftably mounted relatively to each other so that they may be readily shifted for cleaning purposes.; third, to provide a novellyhconstruoted egg beater of this class, and fourth', tov provide an egg beater which is very simple and economical ofconstruetion, durable, and which will not readily deteriorate or getout lof order.

'With these and other objects in view, as will appear hereinafter, my invention consists of certain' noveldeatures .of construction, combination and arrangement of parts and portionsas will be hereinafter described in detail and particularly set forth in the appended claims, reference ,being had to the accompanying drawings-and to the characters of reference thereon :which form a part of this application, inwhich:

-Figure 1 is a side elevational view of my egg beater and Fig. 2 is another side elevational view thereof, taken at a right angle to that of Fig. l.

Like characters of reference refer to similar parts and portions throughout the several views of the drawings.

The trame 1, drive gear 2, crank 3, collar 4. beater-member support 5, beater-members 6 and 7, pinions 8, and the springs 9, constitute theprincipal parts and portions of my egg beater.

The frame 1 is made of an integral piece bent and forming a handle or grip portion 1a at its upper end, and forming a bifurcated portion at the lower free ends thereof, which extend downwardly from the riveted portion and between which biurca-ted portion is revolubly mounted the gear 2 and supported thereon by the crank 3, which extends through and is journaled in the journal portions 1" in the bifurcated portion of the frame 1, said crank being riveted over at the end extending through said frame and provided with a collar or shoulder 4, preferably an integral part thereof, at the other side of the frame, which shoulder and riveted portions position the arms of the bifurcated portion of the frame. At the ends of the bifurcated portion of the frame 1 are secured the free ends of the legs of the U- shaped.beater-member supportv, which ends are'spa'ced A closer together than attheir opposite connected yends. On the legs or up. right portions of the beater-member support are .revolublyand shiftably mounted the beater-members 6 and 7. The beater-1nembers 6 are provided at' their lower ends with loop portions-?, the lower endsy of which are :revelilblyvmounted on the lower. portions of theIbeater-'memfber support Kand lare provided wifth. 'arms G .extending upwardly y -from the loo poi-tions, the upper ends of which are aso :revolubly mounted on the beater-member support. At the upper ends ot' the extended arms of said beater-members 6 are secured the pinions 8, which are ladapted to engage near their upper ends the teeth oneither side of thedrive gear 2. In-

termediate the upper portions of the pinions 8 and the frame 1, to which the U-shaped beater-member support is secured, arepositioned the compression springs 9 to retain the pinion and beater-membersin a down ward position when in use. Within the loop portion of the beater-members 6 and at right angles thereto, and also secured thereto at their lower ends,are the beatergmembers 7 in hoop form, which members 7 are revolubly mounted at the upper and lower portions of the hoop on the upright portions of the beater-.member support. Thus it Vwill be seen that the Vinner portions of the beater-members` as well as the arms extending therefrom, are readily accessible for cleaning purposes.

Though I have shown and .described a particular construction, combination and arrangement of parts and portions, I do not wish to be limited to this particular construction, combination and arrangement, but desire to include in the scope of my invention, the construction, combination and arrangement substantially as set forth in the appended claims.

It is obvious fromthis construction that there is provided an egg beater which is so constructed that all parts are readily accessible forcleaning and therefore may be kept clean and Sanitary at all times; that there is provided an eggbeater in which the engaging driving members are shiftably mounted relatively to each other so that they may be readily shifted for cleaning purposes; that there is provided a novelly constructed egg beater of this class, and an egg beater which is very simple and economical of constifuetiqxi, T,c luraible, andi-which will not readily --deterio'ate "or get-out foriieff; 1 V
